Dear Industry Colleagues,
Welcome to another edition 'Creatively Yours'.
We recently had an in-depth visit to the Six Senses Vana in Dehradun, North of Delhi. What a great property, not just for its aesthetics and elegance but also for its wellness offering. This truly gives us something to compete with the best of the best anywhere. We are launching a very special product based around the Vana, which will enable travel advisors to offer their clients something refreshing for India.
Visit the page of our 2024 ‘Be our Guest‘ portfolio to our partners. This gives you the opportunity to experience not only India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, but also the legendary services that have made us what we are today. Many will copy us, but there is only one ‘Be our Guest’.
Vana is now also an inclusion in the Be Our Guest portfolio.
India is also going into election mode. The national elections will start on April 19th and run until June 1st. Yes, it does take that long. This is the biggest political process in the world. You will hear and see so much about it on the news. Next week, we will launch informative posts about the elections covering some features that make the Indian election process truly unique. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn to see these.[click here]
We have been providing custom training and one-on-one strategy sessions to travel advisors and tour operators worldwide. If you would like to plan a session for you and your team, just email us at knowledge@creative.travel with your details.
Read these and other stories in this edition of Creatively Yours. Additional news items are also on our blog site.

They say, “seeing is believing”.
Can words describe 3.2 million sq. kms. of the Indian subcontinent? Can pictures capture a terrain as diverse as lush green forests, golden deserts and the majestic Himalaya
range? Can stories tell you all you want to know about the complex cultures of the Indian people, their languages and dialects, their rituals and traditions? To feel their magic, be
touched by her spirituality, experience her intensity or join in her celebrations, you have to be in India See details here.

Who: Rajeev Kohli (Joint Managing Director)
Where: Six Senses Vana, Dehradun India
When: March 2024

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Six Senses Vana Wellness Resort in Dehradun, and it was an experience that went way beyond my expectations.
First, I will state at the get-go that my wife (who accompanied me on this one) and I were so impressed with the experience that we are going back in a few months for a full two-week program. Very excited about that. We all need to take the time to invest back in ourselves. Not just work.
